Power Distribution

Power Management & Distribution Modules

The first challenge in powering a robotic system is to determine the source of the power, which in most cases is preferable to have the tied directly to the vehicle, for reliability. Once the source is identified, it is necessary to determine the types and quantities of power required, which is largely based on the complexity of your system and payloads being added. Due to the unmanned nature of robotic systems, it is necessary to have an intelligent power distribution system that can be controlled and monitored electronically to allow for control of subsystem power from the operator control unit, the autonomous system, or for health monitoring and recovery.
